Chapter 24: As Long As She Is Obedient, I Don't Mind Raising Her

His tone was probing and suspicious. She admitted, "When I was young, I was often sick. Nanny couldn't afford the medical fees, so she asked me to help at the village's barefoot doctor's house. I learned a little, so I knew that Mrs. Bai's severe stomach pain was a sign of premature labor."
"You know how to deliver babies?" Mo Lingyuan continued asking, not allowing her to escape.
"Yes." Chu Yunyao answered seriously," The cats and dogs in the village, including cows and pigs, are all delivered by me. There's not much difference between humans and animals."
Mo Lingyuan was speechless.
Looking at the genuine look on her face, Mo Lingyuan took her hand and led her to the Star Storage Building.
Chu Yunyao did not want to have too much to do with him. She stroked her head and said delicately, "Young Marshal, I feel dizzy and want to go back to the Moon Pavilion to rest."
Mo Lingyuan paused momentarily, then slowly loosened her hand and said, "Go ahead."
Chu Yunyao seemed to have received a special pardon. She quickly walked forward until Mo Lingyuan could not see her. Then, she happily returned to her bridal chamber.
In the study room.
Seeing Mo Lingyuan come in, Su Chenxi dropped the book and said unhappily, "What's going on between you and Cheng Shiqi? Don't forget that you've already married the Chu family's legitimate daughter. Cheng Shiqi and Mo Jinyu are also engaged."
"I also heard that the Military Governor's wife used the name of disciplining your wife to send Nanny Rong to her side. Don't you know how to avoid suspicion? Don't you think there are not enough rumors?"
"I don't need to explain. I once promised her sister that I would take good care of her. I'm just fulfilling my promise to her. There's nothing to hide." Mo Lingyuan stood by the window, his elongated figure casting a sculptural shadow on the wall. He continued, "Why the horse suddenly went crazy and what happened."
"It is still under investigation. Fortunately, we met a Doctor and saved Mrs. Bai and her son's lives." Su Chenxi stroked his chin, and a look of admiration appeared on his handsome face, "I wanted to see what the Doctor looked like. But, I had no choice but to leave first. It is a pity that I missed her."
His tone was full of regret. Su Chenxi was immersed in his regret and did not notice that Mo Lingyuan's face had instantly turned dark.
Su Chenxi suddenly remembered something and asked, "The news spread like wildfire. Everyone knows that you married the daughter of the Chu family, who was brought back from the countryside and not the other four beautiful women of the Chu family."
"I heard your wife is so ugly that even the gods would be angry to see her. She is too horrible to look at. Is that true? Can I see her?"
Mo Lingyuan's face was so dark. He snorted coldly, "No, you will cry when you see her ugly face."
Su Chenxi thought that he was unhappy because Chu Qingze had tricked him. He comforted him, "Don't mind too much. Rich family always has many concubines these days. Just leave her alone. She only has the title."
"At the critical moment, she might even be able to help you trick Chu Qingze. You don't have to care about his daughter if he doesn't care about her either."
Mo Lingyuan laughed coldly, "I'm not as heartless as him. As long as she's obedient, I don't mind raising her."
Su Chenxi choked on his saliva and coughed until his face turned red. After a while, he heard his voice, "Do you plan to raise your wife as your daughter?"
